PREFACE 

« 

Lightline shorthand has always appealed to me as the ideal 
method of rapid writing. Simplis Shorthand is a lightline sys- 
tem, requiring no shading nor position. It has about it that 
easy swing and freedom in outline formation found in no other 
system. Obtuse angles have been smoothed out into graceful 
curves. One line blends into another in such a way as to 
compel hand motion and speed. 

I had a great deal of confidence in the system from the very 
start, but if any one had told me that it would be the means, 
in the remarkably short period of two years, of producing some 
of the best writers in the world, I should have thought it im- 
possible. Even in less than two years from the time one of 
my students first saw the alphabet of Simplis Shorthand she 
has learned the system and has taken part in a speed contest 
conducted by the National Shorthand Reporters' Association. 
Out of forty of the best writers in the world who entered the 
contest, there were just five who qualified, and one of the five 
was a writer of Simplis Shorthand. This fact alone should prove 
conclusively that the system will stand up under the severest 
tests. It also proves that results can be accomplished in a 
fraction of the time required for the mastery of any other system. 

I have received many kind expressions from our leading short- 
hand writers and teachers. One teacher says : "J have had four- 
teen years' -experience teaching shorthand and I am satisfied that 
you have the best system I have ever examined. It has a max- 
imum of strong points." Another teacher says: "It is all that 
its name implies and more, being the briefest, most legible, and 
most accurate of all systems of shorthand." 

A leading reporter says: "I have made the change from the 
system I formerly used with ease. You have many advantages 
over the other systems. " From a business college proprietor: 
"Your system should be taught in all schools." 

I wish to express my gratitude to the many writers of short- 
hand who have written from every country where the English 
language is spoken, giving me words of encouragement and 
timely suggestions, and especially do I wish to mention the 
names of Miss Augusta Russell and Miss Helen Roach for the 
aid they have given me in perfecting the system, and for the 
valuable help they have given me in the preparation of this 
text-book.

PART I. 

ADVICE TO THE STUDENT 

Learn each lesson thoroughly. Write each outline many times, 
pronouncing it as it is written, and at the same time concentrate 
the mind on its exact formation. After a perfect mental picture of 
the word is formed, follow that conception minutely. A strong 
impression on the brain will last forever and is always dependable, 
while a weak impression cannot be relied upon and is soon forgotten. 
The form of the word must originate in the brain before the message 
can be flashed to the hand. If the brain is trained to receive the 
message accurately the learner will never experience trouble in 
becoming a good writer of shorthand. He may not at first do his 
work rapidly, but if he is accurate the time will come when the 
brain will respond with lightning rapidity and the results will be 
much more satisfactory than if the above suggestions are not 
closely followed. 

A great aid to a rapid and easy style of note taking is the 
correct position of the hand and arm. Hold the pencil or pen as 
in longhand. A mistake made by some pupils is to grasp the pen 
or pencil too firmly. Keep the hand resting lightly en the paper 
so that the third and fourth fingers will glide easily over its surface. 

Reading the shorthand that has been written is essential for 
the acquirement of speed. The student should read everything he 
writes from the very start. 

The shorthand forms given in the lessons, together with those 
found in the dictionary, will enable the student to complete his 
practice from any dictation book which may happen to be in use. 
There will be special words peculiar to each line of work that will 
not be found in either the lessons or the dictionary. It would 
require an extremely large list of words to cover the hundreds of 
different lines of work with which the student might meet. Such 
a list is not necessary. One writer might wish to contract certain 
words, while another, equally expert, might desire to write them in 
full. After the system has been mastered, one should rely almost 
entirely upon his own judgment informing unfamiliar words. This 
habit of relying upon the judgment makes an excellent mental 
discipline, which will not only help out in shorthand, but will be a 
great aid in solving the various problems which the student may 
encounter after he enters the business world.

8 CHURCHILL SIMPLIS SHORTHAND 

LESSON I. 

1. Consonants. — The consonants given in this les- 
son are traced from left to right. It will be noted that 
similar sounds are represented by similar signs, as for 
example, T and D. T is made very short while D is 
longer. Practice this section of the alphabet over many 
times, pronouncing each character as it is written. 

TDR LTHMKGOAE 

c; O o 



2. Vowels. — E, (and short I as in it), is repre- 
sented by a small circle. The double use of E and short 
I does not cause trouble in reading, as context will give 
the right sound. A is represented by a medium-sized 
circle, and O with a large circle. 

It should be noted that shorthand is written by 
sound, and that all silent letters are omitted. G has two 
sounds: hard G, as in egg; and soft G which has the 
sound of J, as in edge. C has no sound of its own, 
but takes the sound of S, as in city; and K, as in coat. 
Q has the sound of KU, and X has the sound of KS, as 
in axe. 

3. Penmanship.— Write the following exercise at 
least ten times. Use care in turning the circles as they 
appear in the copy. Make the small circles very small, 
and the short strokes very short. Pronounce each stroke 
and vowel as it is written. 

^te — ode ^o re /le -*> the ^-t> me ^> ke O ge 

^et — ~ed (T er <*-"^ 'el <>«- eth <r -^ em q_^ ek O. eg

Note.- AH and AW are also represented by the 
large circle.

or end of a straight stroke, turn it in the direction of 
the hands of a watch.

READING EXERCISE 

9. Word - Signs. — Word-signs are - made from 
single characters. There are thirty-one word -signs in 
this system of shorthand, and they are used to represent 
the most frequently recurring words. Care should be 
exercised in making the word-signs perfectly, and 
they should be thoroughly committed to memory. 
T.wo, and sometimes as many as three words, not of 
the same parts of speech, may be represented by the 
same sign, and the right word is easily determined by 
context.

1.0. Phrasing. — Judicious phrasing is an aid to 
both speed and legibility. A phrase may be made 
where two or more words join easily if their grammat- 
ical construction will permit of phrasing. Short phrases 
of two or three words are more desirable than the longer 
ones. The outlines in this book will furnish good 
examples for the student to follow.

^_j> can he 

<*-> he may 

^r- can the 

v_£y can go 



11. Punctuation. — A period is represented by 
the use of the following sign; as, 7 . Make this sign 
longer for a paragraph sign ; as, 1 . Other punctuation 
marks are made as in longhand. The dash should be 
canceled by striking the TH sign through it; as, ... x - , 
otherwise it might be mistaken for D. Ditto marks 
may be placed under words to indicate a proper name, 
or that the word should begin with a capital letter; 
as, v^l- Kate.

What can you say of when used in the middle of 
outlines ? 

In what direction is the circle turned when joined at 
the beginning or end of straight strokes? 

How is the circle turned between strokes forming an 
angle? 

What can you say regarding the use of silent or 
obscure letters? 

How is C represented in shorthand? 

How many sounds has G? Give examples. 

How is the circle written when joined to curved strokes 
at the beginning or end of the stroke? 

How is H represented ? Where is it placed ? 

Which does H always precede, a vowel or a consonant ? 



LESSON II. 



SH / CH / J f P ( B J F / 



V ^ U 



1 2. All of the above consonants are written down- 
ward. 

13. If U does not form as a hook, an angle should 
be used. It sometimes happens that the slant or 
direction of U is slightly varied for the purpose of 
securing easily made joinings. Observe closely the 
following illustrations : 

^_ut^ ud^ ur^^ul^-,um /^pu / bu J fu / vu / shu 

/chu / ju — /tu D du^ ru ^i\i ^ thu^-^mu £/>gUv^ku 

/up / ub/ uf /uv ?ush / uch / uj °\ uth^^uk &ug 

14. Turn the vowel inside when a straight stroke 
follows P or B, and when K follows a downward straight 
stroke. / / 

C beet ^ path <^ bait 6^ 



Jack 

Note. U, TJ, OO and OO are represented by <o 






14 



CHURCHILL SIMPLIS SHORTHAND 



1 5. O, in words like dove, love, etc., has the sound 
of short U, as in up. 

16. There are times in the middle of outlines 
when the circle vowels take the form of loops; as in 

--V latch, sm&cf grave.

LESSON III. 

18. S has two forms known as firsts and second S. 

( FirstS ; SecondS 

1 9. First S is used as a small hook before T, D, R, 
L, and K if no vowel intervenes; as, c_ st, c sd, 

<^ sr, o^sl- 9 and c_^ sk. 

<y* step <y, stop c^-" slack 

c^/* sHp *y S ^P c-^-^school 

^_ most /^~ lost £ post 

20. First S, in its natural form, is used before and 
after P, B, and G; as, f sps, f sbs, £ sgs, f seps, 

L sbes. It is also used after all strokes struck with 
forward motion, with the exception of M when followed 
by a circle vowel; as in miss, when second S is used. 
— r ds % -f> tes, w ks, ^-> ms, s^ Is. '

21. Second S is used after M when followed by a 
circle vowel, and in all cases after U ; as,^ missy^J lose. 

Second S is used before and after F, V, SH, CH, 
and J; as, j shs, / sch, y sfs. 



CHURCHILL SIMPLIS SHORTHAND 19 

Second S is used before all strokes made with 
forward motion, provided a vowel intervenes; as, 
<j- set,<^ — said, «^ seek; <^ seem, j^sell. 

Second S is used when S is the only stroke; as, 

J us, 3 easy. 

It will be noted that a downward curve takes the 
form of S which resembles the curve; as, f seps, 
sves.

22. SES or ZES, if unaccented, is represented by 
joining First S with Second S, or Second S with First S; 
as, <y faces ,cJ? graces. If this syllable is accented, 
use the vowel; as, ( possess. 
^) face y faces C pass 

j£ passes ^-r cause ^ causes

23. N has two forms, both of which are taken 
from the longhand N. These strokes are traced with 
an upward and forward motion. 

s~ First N 's Second N 

24. Use the first stroke when N is the only conso- 
nant or if there appears to be no choice. First N is 
almost always used at the beginning" of words. See 
lines one, two and three. Use second N if the first 
form does not mal£e a good joining. See lines five

by their names and to speak of them as syllables. 
Sometimes a more prominent vowel than the short E

LESSON V 



29. Diphthongs.— The diphthong I is composed 
of Italian A followed by E, while 01 begins with a 
somewhat broader sound of A finishing with E. 01 is 
made larger than I. These characters may be inverted ; 

as in y/y life, or the small circle may be contracted to 

an angle; as in ^ size. 

Note carefully how O and U are joined in forming. 
OW or OU. Also note the same distinction in EW and 
EU.

30. EW or EU may be contracted to ^ U. 
/^^ lieu ^2^ music ^ new 

31. W and Y are coalescents. Each is made up 
of two different sounds which, taken together, make 
the necessary sound. W is represented by U. There 
is no danger of W and U causing trouble as W is always 
followed by a vowel while U is followed by a consonant. 
Where W is followed by a circle vowel, make the hook 
for W small and above the circle. The form starts 
similar to the figure 2. 

9 we £ way ^ woo

32. Phonetically, WH is HW, and in shorthand 
H is written first.

CHURCHILL S1MPLIS SHORTHAND 



33. W is disjoined in words if a better outline 
may be had. It will be noticed that O, AH and AW 
are not omitted after W. The advanced writer usually 
omits W altogether in the following words:

34:. Y, when standing alone, is represented by a 
small circle. It cannot conflict with E however, as Y 
is always followed by a vowel, while E is always followed 
by a consonant. Use a small loop to represent YE 
and a large loop to represent YA or YO. This sound 
is always used at the beginning of words. 



<^ Yale

35. U and OW are omitted before N and M, and 
combinations beginning with N or M, in the middle of 
outlines.

36. Where two vowels come together, write the 
more prominent and indicate the other with a dot inside.

CHURCHILL SIMPLTS SHORTHAND 31 



37. Voiced and whispered sounds are sometimes 
represented by the same sign; as, S and Z, TRand DR., 
NT and ND, etc. They may be distinguished by plac- 
ing.a dot above and a little to the right of the character, 
for the voiced sound.

38. The words in the following list occur so often 
that it is best to learn them without vowels, so that 
they may be written at the highest possible rate of 
speed.

Explain how W may sometimes not be written in the

CHURCHILL SIMPLIS SHORTHAND 35 
LESSON VI. . 

41. Abbreviation. — The complete alphabet has 
been given in the preceding lessons and no word can be 
written without using some element already learned. In 
the lessons that are to follow, abbreviating principles 
are given which shorten words so that they may be writ- 
ten with the greatest possible speed. Certain syllables 
and prefixes as well as suffixes are shortened, some 
being joined, while others are' disjoined. 

NOTE. In paragraphs 47, 55, and 56 outlines .will be found 
which will be slightly abbreviated. 

Before H, W, and a few consonants where 
the circle for A cannot be easily joined, A may be rep- 
resented by the use of a dot, placed at the beginning of 
the word. The dot for A never conflicts with H, as 
H is always read before a vowel. 

" — -ahead ^~ aware o2-" awake 

y° anew "Q ahoy i~) away 

42. B, D,and R, when followed by long E, are 
seldom vocalized when used as prefixes. Omit the 
vowel in MIS and DIS.

45. EN and IN are represented by First N. Ii 
this prefix is followed by a vowel, it should also begin

turned with clock motion.

be ended as soon as I, SH, NG and NGK are written. 
Should the writer so desire, an additional stroke may 
be written to words shortened under this rule, but it is 
seldom necessary. SIGN, SIGHT and a very few other 
short words are better written in full.

LESSON VIII. 

86. R, and sometimes L ? may be indicated 
after straight strokes and a circle vowel, by turning the 
vowel in the opposite direction from the hands of a clock. 

If a primitive word ends in T or D and its 
derivative ends in TER or DER, it is better to use the 
method given in this paragraph than it is to use the 
blending principle as learned in the fourth lesson, 

Q— art cJX- start <Zy voucher 

^ real-ly J^ roll b held 

o deal-dear _o dare — o tell-till 

<r° error e— o steal-still c^_ yield 

. Odoor . Q — _ old O— - hold 

87. At the end of words S may be added to the 
indicated R or L by inaking the circle into a loop. 
This loop is small for ES and large for AS or OS* 

o-^°adores ^~> — . «=» models "» steals 

<=deals ■ — - £==> details c^f strangers 

<r^ errors S** retails ^^ tells 

88. After P or B, turn the vowel outside to indi- 
cate R or L. This motion is similar to that used in 

making the figure 8.

bearer

89. R and L are indicated by irregular position 
of the vowel. U before R has the same sound as E 
before R, and U is used in the word heard given below 
for the sake of distinguishing between heard and held. 



o~^ arm o—, harm

^rlearn c ^~' ornate 


0/ orange 
'-sy / * morning 



91. When R is weakly vocalized it may be safely 
omitted, as is often done by some speakers. R may be 
inserted at any time by striking it through the vowel. 
Well defined syllables grow out of this method; as, set,

96. Many long words may be shortened by writ- 
ing enough so that the writer will have no trouble in 
f-eading them. This system gives ample opportunity 
to abbreviate certain words that might come under 
any special line of work. Some writers are able to 
contract a great deal, while others find it to their lik- 
ing to write their notes very completely.

Dear Sir : We have a corner lot near Clinton Court 
that we will sell cheap for cash. A certain man saw the lot 
not long ago and thinks that he would like to have it, 
but I do not know that he will be able to get the money 
at this time. If you are ready to make a deal and this 
lot suits you, call at once as we are quite anxious to 
make an early sale. Very truly yours,

WRITE IN SHORTHAND 

Dear Sir: We have a new bookcase, a History of the 
World, by Ridpath, and several useful books on bee cul- 
ture that we will sell cheap for spot cash. The bookcase 
cost us forty dollars last March and it is just as good as 
new, but one-half that amount of money will take it. 
You realize the worth of Ridpath's History of the 
World. 

You may have the whole outfit for seventy-five dollars. 
We are forced to make a quick sale and you should be here 
early tomorrow if you wish to get it. 

Very sincerely yours, 

The chairman will report to the firm in June. 

We may wait until May and then go ahead with 
the work. 

What can we do for you in the way of cheap farm 
lands in Miller County ? 

You may get the services of a painter who is well 
versed in his work.

98. After the student has become thoroughly 
familiar with the principles contained in the preceding 
lessons, he will find that many vowels may be omitted 
in the middle of outlines without impairing their legi- 
bility. In determining the proper vocalization of 
words, the writer should confine himself as nearly as 
possible to the following suggestions: 

Initial and final vowels are almost always written. 

One medial vowel is all that any word needs for 
legibility. If the word contains several medial vowels, 
and there seems to be no choice as far as ease of writing 
is concerned, write the accented vowel; as, in PACK- 
AGE, write it P-A-K-J, leaving AGE unvocalized. 

If a word has three or more consonants, it is not 
necessary to use any vowels. However, it is never 
wise to omit a vowel if its insertion w r ould produce a 
more flowing outline. 

An omitted vowel may be indicated, if the writer 
so desires, by placing its diacritical mark below its 
position in the word.

Care of Press. 

In answer to your advertisement for a competent stenographer, 
as published in the Press of November 28th, please consider me an 
applicant for the posititon. 

I am eighteen years old, have been graduated from high school, 
and from the Commercial Training School of this city. Outside of 
two weeks that I worked in the office of the last named school I 
have had no business experience. Besides being rapi£ and accurate 
in shorthand and typewriting, I have taken a short course in book- 
keeping. T have made a special study of writing sales letters, 
dunning letters, etc., and have learned to fill in form letters. I have 
also studied follow-up systems, filing, and indexing. 

You may ask Mr. Joseph Harrington, 324 Wealthy Street, 
Cashier of the First National Bank, about my character and relia- 
bility. I should also be glad to refer you to Mr. Henry L, King, 
Principal of the Commercial Training School. 

I shall be pleased to call upon you at any time that would be 
most convenient to you for an interview. 

Very truly yours, 



The Indian Medicine Co., 
Marshalltown, Iowa. 
Gentlemen: 

By today's mail we are sending you a copy of the February 
number of Popular Mechanics, in which appear the advertisements 
of a number of our clients ; we believe there are eight, all told. They 
represent varied interests, but in each case the advertiser is doing 
well. 

Among the number represented is one advertisement which has 
appeared in seventy-five different publications, and has paid in 
seventy-four of them. We have never before heard of a record that 
would equal it, and we do not know that we could duplicate it. 
This is the advertisement of the Haywood Tire and Equipment 
Company, of Indianapolis, page 160 of the advertising section. 

Mr. Haywood says that the January advertisement has pulled 
wonderfully well, and instructs us to place the same copy in the 
March issue. That will be three consecutive insertions for it — 
January, February, and March. 

On page 170 appears the advertisement of the McCreery Manu- 
facturing Company. For fifteen years their business was placed 
through another agency. You are at perfect liberty to write them 
and ask what they think of the Miller Advertising Company service. 

Don't you think it worth while talking over your proposition 
with us? 

Yours very truly,

Gentlemen of the Jury: 

As this is the first case that you are to try during the six weeks 
which you are to sit here, perhaps it will be appropriate for me to 
say something of our respective duties. It is my duty, as presiding 
judge, to preside during the trial and to direct what evidence shall 
be submitted to you, and to direct the general course of the pro- 
ceedings, and, finally, to state the law applicable to each case, with- 
out expressing any opinion about the facts. It is your duty, on 
the other hand, to decide all controverted questions of fact, taking 
your law from the court. You are bound to assume that I am giving 
you correct law, whether I am or not, and it will be correct law 
until the Supreme Court, who have a chance to review me, say that 
it is not correct law. You ought to assume, when I state the law 
to you, that it is a correct statement of the law, and apply the facts 
to the law. 

You are selected as jurors, and in my opinion you can perform 
no better service for the state. You are practically judges of fact, 
and have very important matters to determine. You can not 
generally be reviewed; it is only in unusual and extreme cases that 
your verdicts can be interfered with; and therefore your natural 
feeling, of course, would be not only that you ought to decide ail 
cases justly, but that you must so decide them, having taken an 
oath to decide all questions of fact in accordance with the evidence 
and under the law given to you by the court. If it were not for 
jurors to help the Court, I do not know how we should get on, 

This system which we now have has been in existence for a 
great many years; we inherited it, so to speak, from our mother 
country; and I presume it will be in vogue long after you and I have 
passed over to the other side. It is the best system we have ; it is not 
claimed it is perfect, but it is claimed that it is the best system we 
know of. The law contemplates, and the statute provides, that

jurors shall be men of good moral character and sound judgment ; 
and with such jurors we expect substantial justice. In the term of 
court upon which you are just entering you will have many im- 
portant cases to decide, and this case is an important case, im- 
portant both to this defendant and to this plaintiff. 

The plaintiff, gentlemen, is always the person who brings the suit. 
In this case, it is Mr. Smith. The defendant is the person or corpo- 
ration defending the suit. In this case it is this railroad corpora- 
tion. I think sometimes lawyers and judges use the words "plain- 
tiff" and "defendant" so readily that they forget that jurors do not 
always understand those terms at the beginning of the term. I sat 
once for nearly a whole term of court, and then one juryman came 
and asked me, "Who is the plaintiff and who is the defendant?" so 
I think it is always well to start by stating carefully that the 
plaintiff is the person or company which brings the suit, and the 
defendant is the person or company which is defending. 

The law puts upon one party or the other what is called the 
burden of proof. In a criminal case this burden of proof must be 
sustained beyond a reasonable doubt. 



THOUGHTS ON BUSINESS 

By W. P. Warren 

A MOTIVE FOR ACTION 

To allow ourselves to be cheated out of an opportunity is not 
only unfair to ourselves, but it is unfair to others, for it also cheats 
them out of the good we might be able to do them if we had taken 
advantage of the opportunity. Let us hope that there are few men 
selfish enough to think that a man owes nothing to his fellowmen. 
It is a commonly accepted thought that a man has certain moral

obligations to others, and that he who wilfully neglects them, for- 
feits his right to the respect of his fellows. 

The endeavor to attain proficiency in any wholesome line of 
work, to surpass the standards of merit that have been attained by 
others, and to improve continually on our own past achievements, 
is the spirit of the honorable life. It is not for ourselves alone that 
we strive to attain a high standard, but because we should do our 
share toward the general progress of the world. To see it thus 
gives new energy to our endeavors and makes success more sure. 
A man's interest cannot be entirely separated from that of his fellows. 
The highest success cannot be attained without something of altru- 
ism in our motives, for that lifts our thoughts to a higher capacity 
than selfishness can possibly do. In order to do your best for your- 
self you are forced to be an altruist. 

THE MORAL FOUNDATION 

Every ambitious worker keenly desires to find what is commonly 
called "the secret of success." Many writers have endeavored to 
assist in finding it, and much good has been accomplished by their 
efforts. Each man, according to his experiences and purposes, 
sees the question from a different viewpoint. But, "however varied 
may be the views and the manner of expressing them, all men are 
practically agreed on the indispensable value of moral qualities. 
The very strength of the mind lies in pureness of heart. Judgment 
is a perception of the true relation of things, energy is born of pur- 
pose, accuracy is the love of perfection, and sincerity — the corner 
stone of every worthy structure — is quarried only from the depths 
of the truly honest heart. 

Any so-called "secret of success" which ignores the moral founda- 
tion is either superficial or unsafe. Cleverness, without morality, 
deceives most the persons who practice it. To have the letter

without the spirit makes machines of men ; and to have any spirit 
less than the best is to miss something in the measure of success. 
Crafty policies are not wisdom, but are ignorant substitutes for sound 
morals. Nothing can ever take the place of those great fundamen- 
tals — honesty, sincerity, and a pure mind. The real secret of success 
must ever be, "Think right, do right." 

THE GREATEST BUSINESS MAXIM 

The business life affords perhaps the best opportunity to test 
the practical value of the Golden Rule. It is significant that busi- 
ness men are coming more and more to see and advocate this rule — 
not merely as a result of moral teachings received outside of business 
circles, but as a conclusion which business experience itself has forced 
upon them. In business affairs the practice of the Golden Rule 
stands for all that is honorable, and progressive, and just. The 
business houses which attain a measure of prestige and wholesome 
reputation are those in which this spirit obtains, in some degree at 
least. And perhaps no wrong trait in the personality of a business 
will more quickly receive the censure and discredit of other business 
men than does the absence of fairness — which is but another way of 
saying the absence of the spirit of the Golden Rule. 

HEADED FOR THE TOP 

Resourcefulness is the star accomplishment. It is the master- 
key that fits all the locks of business requirements. 

I recently heard a good story about an office boy — "may his tribe 
increase". He took the "message to Garcia", and he got it there on 
time. 

The boy was given a letter to be delivered to a man at his home 
that evening, and was told it was very important that the man should 
have the letter before eight o'clock. When he got there, "Garcia" 
had gone out, his family did not know where. The boy asked where

he might possibly be and they couldn't even guess. Then he asked 
for the names of two or three of the man's most intimate friends. 
When these were given he made haste to the nearest telephone and 
explained the situation to one or two of the friends and got them to 
guess where he was. Then he telephoned to one of the guesses and 
found that * 'Garcia" had just been there but had gone out with the 
man of trie house, and his family didn't know where. But they 
made a good guess, which proved true. The boy got "Garcia" on 
the telephone at a club house two miles away and explained that 
it was now five minutes to eight, and asked permission to tear open 
the letter and read it to him. This the man agreed to, and received 
the information just in time to enable him to be present at an 
important meeting. 

PLEASE 

If you would like to do something to lessen the friction of business 
intercourse, cultivate the general use of the word "Please." Use it 
when you give an order, when you ask a favor, or when you make a 
request. Use it when you speak on the telephone. Use it especially 
when you are speaking to those who are working under your author- 
ity. To say "Please" is one of the first lessons of childhood — and 
one of the necessary lessons of the well rounded business life. 

What a magic word is "Please," and to what shall it be com- 
pared ? It is like the oil on the wheel, for it softens the friction of 
every transaction. It is like the dot on the "i" — for though a very 
small thing, it is instantly missed when it is gone. It is like the 
name on the cover of the book, for it is an index of what is within. 

MOTIVES 

The man who is most to be wanted for positions of trust is the 
one who does not work for mere selfish gain, but for the love of the 
task. If he does his work for love of it, and not out of consideration 
alone for the results, he will serve his own interests best, for he will

I have sometimes found it difficult to find the right man for the

few who want the job for its own sake. This applies equally in 
business. There are too many who seek work for the salary alone. 
As a result, sometimes if they are well paid, they will commit acts 
for which they would not otherwise be responsible. 

The new order that is coming to the fore in the business world 

does not seek this kind of man. It is looking for the man who will 

work for the satisfaction of work well done — for the joy of achieve- 

i 
ment. For him there are large opportunities. — Taft. 

CIVIL SERVICE DICTATION 

Our present system of transportation by rail is not keeping pace 
with our rapid increase of production and consumption. Most of 
the transportation is over rail, and we have utilized our rivers only 
in a meager way. This is essentially true of our interior waterways. 
Water traffic, to a large extent, is localized around the Great Lakes, 
and splendid as are the results, still the benefits have failed to reach 
the great interior sources of production. Even this limited area 
of water transportation, however, demonstrates advantages and 
shows that waterways should be established and assured as a perma- 
nent part of the traffic system. Over the region of the central west 
lies a great freight-producing area. Under the all-rail system of 
carrying freight the western producer fails to reach the markets with 
a profit, and the consuming world is denied access to these interior 
fields of production. For several years the roads have failed to 
move the crops in season, and before long they will be able to move 
only a portion of the farm products to market. Leaders in railroad

transportation recently estimated that the next ten years would 
require seventy-five thousand miles more of trackage construction 
to meet the requirements of the normal growth of the country. It 
is quite unlikely that the necessary increase of railroad mileage and 
equipment will be made. Wisdom and experience point to a com- 
prehensive program of interior waterway improvement. Encour- 
agement of production is not rational if we neglect the natural 
facilities for distribution. — From The Congressional Record. 

From the time when man produced more than he consumed and 
desired other than what he produced, carriers became important. 
Settlements were made in the New World on the seashore and on 
the banks of rivers where transportation by water was possible, 
but each man at first was his own carrier, and he exchanged his for 
his neighbor's products. With thrift and enterprise a surplus 
greater than the needs of immediate neighborhood exchanges was 
created, and the common carrier became a necessity. At first the 
Government, recognizing the need, entered into the business of carry- 
ing products for the benefit of the people; highways were built, 
boat lines established, and canals dug. These were operated either 
without charge to the people or by imposing a charge upon the user 
of the means of transportation. In the early forties the railroad 
wras born, and regions remote from navigable waters were opened 
up to settlement. Some wild dreamer of the Revolutionary times 
may have had a vision of the twentieth century commerce, but 
such vision was never expressed, and certainly it never entered into 
the mind of the statesmen of early days what wonderful things were 
to come to pass. Then wants were simple and desire was modest. 
The luxuries of yesterday have become necessities of today. 
Inventive genius has revolutionized past ideals and ancient methods; 
ignorance, superstition, and religious fanaticism and bigotry, which 
once blocked the way of progress and blinded the eyes of genius, 
have been ruthlessly crushed to death. — Charles E. Townsend.
